Handbook

As global temperatures near 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and track towards 2°C, broad sectors across government, non-government and industry must consider and plan for climate change impacts. 

This course will present the essentials of understanding and managing climate risk. Material will be presented in a manner that is accessible to students from all backgrounds and disciplines, demonstrating how climate risk may manifest as a challenge in a wide range of sectors (e.g., built environment, engineering, business, health, law, economics and policy). We aim to provide a fundamental understanding that will inform students within their own speciality and to engage them in an emerging issue that will be critical to their long-term employability in business, industry or government.
